Hundreds gather in East Lothian town to protest closure of 100-year-old hospital

Hundreds of East Lothian residents gathered in the streets to protest and show affection for a local hospital that was closed down recently, and never reopened.

Locals of North Berwick gathered yesterday, April 24, with a local pipe band playing leading the procession and many banners being raised in protest against the closure of Edington Cottage Hospital.

The local and well-loved institution was closed in September 2021 due to staff shortages and the long-lasting effect of the Covid pandemic, with locals hoping the hospital would eventually reopen.
